Not to take away from the good news of theaters doing great last quarter, but a more accurate headline is "AMC rode the two behemoths, The Odyssey and Brand New Day, to a record 3rd Quarter", lol.

Sorry, but the data-analyzing nerd in me can't help but parse out the details to find the truth behind things.

But, as lackluster as the movies have been since those two behemoths, Dune 3 and Doomsday will come in right at the finish line of 2026 to boost the 4th quarter numbers.

It's a couple things and Brand New Day is a big one. August of this year was the highest domestic August….ever….and it wasn't even close!

Forget The Odyssey….yeah that was big but Brand New Day carried 2026. Before that film there was a chance but a very low chance we hit 10 B for 2026….that film alone all but sealed it….

But here's the other big thing that folks forget about….theres MORE MOVIES!

YTD we've had 645 films released with 2 months left. The highest we've had for any post covid year is 677. Currently the average domestic revenue per film is very similar to the last few years as well where we had 677 films.

So we're gonna definitely crush the number of film releases too.

In case anyone's curious the average per film and total films released per year

2023 / 593 films / 15.021 million avg (highest domestic POST COVID year with 8.9 billion)
2024 / 677 films / 12.659 million avg (8.57 billion domestic)
2025 / 670 films / 12.92 million avg (8.656 billion domestic)

2026 / 645 films so far (will easily top 700) / 12.994 million avg (8.381 billion domestic so far)….

The average per film will likely drop a tiny bit until dune 3 and doomsday and over the final less than 2 weeks of the year with those two films will finish over 13 million average….

Just to compare as far as what potential used to be there….the two years before covid had 910 and 933 films released….

Hey, don't discount The Odyssey's impact. I knew it'd be big because of Nolan and the big name actors, but I didn't envision it making $1.8 billion! But yeah, Brand New Day is the clear winner with $2.5 billion. Will it beat even Doomsday when all is said and done?

But to me the biggest surprise was the number of films being put out prior to COVID. No idea it was almost 1,000 per year. That just seems crazy.
